1957 Fender Super Amp

A narrow-panel tweed 6L6 Fender Super amplifier! The amp sounds like a million bucks, and will make you throw away every effect pedal that you've ever owned. There is not much out there that sounds as good as this thing does when you inch up the volume past half-way.
In pretty much original condition, this amp has been well serviced and has had the following minor changes: Original Jensen P-10R's have been re-coned, the power cord has been replaced with a grounded plug, the standby switch, presence pot, and speaker jack have been changed. The tweed, grill, handle, knobs, back panels, and innards are all there. The work was all done to the highest professional standards. Power transformer code of 8087, pot codes of 304738, capacitor codes from '56 and '57, and a chassis stamp of S01789 date the amp to '57. Unfortunately the paper tube chart is ripped, and the speakers have no date stampings on them. The original tweed covering is in used condition, with worn corners, but has no extreme wear. The upper back panel was once painted black, but in removing the paint the previous owner also removed the lacquer from the tweed. The amp looks superb, so to speak. The custom made padded cover is included with the amplifier. This is a rare opportunity to own one of the most desirable Fender amps ever made.
